Beautiful mama-to-be ::Shreveport maternity photographer::

Last night I had a very fun maternity session with the B family. We had to reschedule once because it had poured all afternoon, but the wait was worth it. There was such beautiful light last night!
Aren't they so adorable? I know they will be such cute parents too! And can't wait to meet their little girl next month for newborn portraits! Enjoy your sneak peek (and last few weeks of quiet!!)

F family...hot times in the city ::Shreveport family photographer::

Today I ventured across the river for a fun urban session with the F family. They were awesome to work with, their mom has the best fashion sense, and has a house full of fun props that she loves to lend to me! This was so much fun, despite the heat and humidity! Enjoy your sneak peek guys!

Poor Cooper, it was rough out there today!

Introducing Sara Kate ::Bossier City newborn photographer::

Baby Sara Kate was born at the end of May, but I didn't get a chance to meet her until she was already almost a month old. So she was a little outside the optimal window for newborn pictures, they just don't sleep as well after 2 weeks of age, but we did what we could and I (not so) secretly like the lifestyle ones best anyways :)

Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek! :)

Raegan is (almost!) one! ::Bossier City children's photographer::

On the same trip home recently where I had the pleasure of photographing 3 newborns, I got to do a few almost one year portraits for Raegan. She is the daughter of my best friend, and her dad, Drew, is so talented. He designed and built my official website.

Miss Raegan turns one in August, so we went ahead and did a few pictures for her invitation and a few in a dress that her mom wore when she was younger. Laura's grandmother made the dress and then Laura found the perfect vintage little hair bow for Rae to wear with it...

I can't wait to be home again in late August to do their family portraits!!

Claire is one! ::Bossier City children's photographer::

Claire is one of Ellie's bff''s. They are only 6 weeks apart and it's been a lot of fun watching them grow up together...Since Claire just turned one, we marked the occasion with a few one year portraits.

She loved her Baby Be Blessed doll (for a few minutes anyways...and then she got dropped in the floor!)

Then we went outside for a few moments...she was happy even with the sticky hot humidity!

Happy Birthday Miss Claire! Now the fun really begins, you and Ellie can chase each other around now! :)

tiny little Fisher ::Bossier City newborn photographer::

On a recent trip home to Sweet Home Alabama, I was lucky enough to arrive shortly after tiny little Fisher arrived. He's the nephew of one of my good friends from high school and he tipped the scales at just over 5 lbs! My smallest full term newborn!

He gave me and his mama a work out, he refused! to fall asleep, didn't cry, just laid there very sweetly until almost the very end. And then he gave up...

Sweet little Alabama fan!!

Welcoming baby Lydia ::Bossier City family/newborn photographer::

Our friends the S family recently welcomed their little girl, Lydia, into their family.
She is such a cute little girl and full of personality already!! Big brother Adam is so gentle with her, and doesn't he look tough with his band aid? He had a fall earlier in the day of our our shoot and had quite the impressive boo-boo.

I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek! I can't wait to watch sweet Lydia grow up!
